Man, playing Giant Engineer on Payload Race is tough.
Unlike PL, you aren't forced to push forward. You can play mostly defensively on PLR as Giant Engie, I've noticed many players do this to great effect.

It's not always the best idea to fight a combat giant head-on, but you're capable of holding your own for a short period of time if you have to.

If you're up against a Heavy, Demoknight or Pyro, you're better off keeping your distance. Try to get your Sentry up and keep it up via repairs (if you have enough health you can tank incoming damage to make sure it doesn't go down while under construction). It's not always easy to get it back up again if an enemy Giant is after you, so this is sometimes necessary.

If you're up against a Giant Rapid-Fire Demoman, you're honestly better off avoiding him entirely if you can. He's great at taking out your Sentries, and he isn't that bad at direct combat either. Fortunately, you move faster than he does. Similar case with Sir Nukesalot, except you may have an easier time taking him on directly due to the long reload times.

Your melee weapon swings quickly, and on the 3rd punch will crit and knock back enemy players, including Giants and Sentry Busters. This can be very helpful when defending your nest from busters, or when you're trying to maintain distance from a pursuing Giant. If you catch an enemy Giant in a corner, you can actually put out pretty good DPS with the melee. While you can't outlast a full health combat Giant in this fashion, it's a great way to finish them off if they're getting low on health.

Try to put your Teleporter in a location that will benefit your team the most. On Hightower, many Giant Engineers like to set up their nest at the top of the tower, allowing their team to take control over the middle of the map. Take care not to put the Teleporter too far away from the enemy Tank, though, as this can make it difficult for your team to keep their defenses up.

Also, remember that you can heal yourself with your Dispenser if you're really low. Sometimes it can keep you alive.
